the melody sounds as if the person dreams of a better life for him and his girlfriend, with their individual dreams being scary new experiences, but enjoyable overall, and when they wake up, they realize their dreams became reality.
Invert the harmony and the sad tonality of the original becomes happy, upbeat tonality. Makes sense in a way, I guess? (I have very limited knowledge of music theory, don't quote me on this lol).
@@InTheBeginningTheUniverseWas Hi, a little late, but negative harmony isn't simply turning major chords into minor and vise versa, but instead changing every note into what we refer to as it's "negative" counterpart on the circle of fifths, so yes it still is changing happy to sad and sad to happy but it's a more complicated concept that can lead to amazing harmony
as much as i love the original tune, i am sorta jealous this is your intro to the song. adam neely's bitonal/polytonal video from 2016-2017 was my first impression/introduction to linkin park
There’s an “invert” function in my music software. I ran that through it. Results were interesting, but it would have taken more tweaking to make it work.
I’m really impressed by this cover. Usually when people do negative harmony covers at some point they get to a nails on chalkboard moment, and this didn’t. It was well thought out and, especially the singing, very well done. This gets an add to my music playlist. 👍🏼👍🏼

Excellent! I love this sort of stuff. The mirrored version of Tangerine Dream's Rubycon is also awesome. Mirroring and negative harmony are fantastic compositional techniques!
I don’t know if it’s the negative harmony or your voice or a combination of the two but all of these videos have such an Elliott Smith sound to them. Your voice so beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with us!
These negative harmony songs are like they're from an alternate dimension, or what music sounds like to our nearly identical counterparts who live on the other side of the mirror. Only their right hand is our left hand and so forth. Very Twilight Zoney. There's a version of Van Halen Jump in minor key that has a very eerie, alternate reality feel to it. The original key is Major and it's transposed to minor. What if you then transposed that to Negative Harmony. I advise extreme caution if attempting this as you are liable to accidently reverse the flow of time, invert gravity or some other catastrophic consequence.

Finally NEVERLONG
Nevershort
Ok yes 😂
@@rome8180Nevershort = Long lmao
@@d.c.8828 Lol, true.
Thats whats she said💀
This feels so much like a Smashing Pumpkins song. Love it!
Something off aeroplane flies high but sang by James
so true
You got it from that descent into where the d chord would be didn’t you cus as soon as I heard it I thought the same thing die hard sp fan
Sounds more like elliot Smith tbh
TONIGHT TONIGHT
The melody somehow sounds more dreamy than the original.

@@littlejd72Hi, I Don't know much about the fifth circle, the "negative" counterpart are their minor and major relative?
More dreamy than the original? I don’t think it ever was dreamy
Listening to this was both beautiful and kind of unsettling, I feel like it would be the same feeling as visiting an alternate dimension
I like it but it kinda just sounds like a typical 2014-2016 alt/indie song to me
@@NobodyAtAll56 It kinda does tbh. I think it’s just the opposite part that made it feel like that to me.
It feels like one of those sped up sh*tty TikTok songs but a little bit better
It's the mirror in Zelda A Link To The Past. Dark World.
now listen to them both at the same time. I am now horrified and am going to fill my ears with sulfuric acid to erase the horror.
sounds like Elliott Smith covering Everlong lmao. love it!
Came here looking for this comment haha thought the same thing
First thing that came to mind!
just what i was thinking
Yeah, totally
Had the same thought
Ah, the classic "Neverlong" by Oof Pacifists
I could play this while enjoying some Homes and Humans.
Hey is that a Tommy Tallarico song?
@@stalfithrildi5366 his mom is very proud
“Nevershort”
Dude the negative harmony multiverse is insane
This has got to be proof that it’s a beautiful progression if it works this well inverted.
Either that or just that it remains in the proper key throughout. But I’m a non musician who knows very little about music theory so who knows 😅
"Seven nation army" is awful to hear in negative harmony. Especially the singing part.
I would still wanna hear a stadium chanting the bass line 😂.
Negative harmony is interesting, because sometimes transforming a song like this works very well, and other times its complete nonsense
You've made an Elliott Smith song LOL I love it
Oh my god, you're right 😂
listening to this without knowing what the original sounds like just to be confused even more
you have to lisen to the og
I prefer this version, sounds lovely :)
as much as i love the original tune, i am sorta jealous this is your intro to the song. adam neely's bitonal/polytonal video from 2016-2017 was my first impression/introduction to linkin park
Htf have you never heard Everlong, my guy
because i don't usually listen to this sorta music
Omg yes nevershort, the best radiohead song ever! John lennon does some amazing vocals fr. And Brian May does great on the guitar too.
What are you talking about, Brian May plays the drums
@@lupenz_101 oh! My apologies. Who plays the guitar is James hetfield.
@@lupenz_101i would have swore it was Rivers Cuomo playing drums
@@TotallyKurtCobainNo, that would be Krist Novoselic. Rivers plays the keyboard.
Dimebag sounds grate on the chello bass in this one 👊👊
Would be very interesting trying this with a classical piece of music, like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata or Smetana's Moldau.
I was thinking the same thing
There’s an “invert” function in my music software. I ran that through it. Results were interesting, but it would have taken more tweaking to make it work.
@@jonathanroberts8981 Awesome! What kind of software are you using?
he covered Because by The Beatles, which derives its chords from Moonlight Sonata in reverse, so he like *almost* did that lol
With Jazz music too
I’m really impressed by this cover. Usually when people do negative harmony covers at some point they get to a nails on chalkboard moment, and this didn’t.
It was well thought out and, especially the singing, very well done.
This gets an add to my music playlist. 👍🏼👍🏼
that intro is actually dope asf. esp the second chord. and yes, i'd still recognise this song just from the intro alone haha
Love the original and love this almost as much
Goodbye
I didn't wait here for you
Neverbrief
Tonight, I keep myself away from
And into the red
Into her head, she was silent
Stay up and thrive alone against me
Up against me
Fast, how you didn't want it to be
I'm under my feet
Into her head, she was silent
And I don't ponder
When I stay silent against you
If nothing could ever be this surreal temporarily
If nothing could ever be this bad again
The multitude I'll never inquire of you
You've got to promise to continue when I say stop
She was silent
Exhale
So I can exhale you out
Release you out
And then
I don't know you've never been
Into your head
Into my head, I was silent
And I don't ponder
When I stay silent against you
If nothing could ever seem this surreal temporarily
If nothing could ever be this bad again
The multitude I'll never inquire of you
You've got to promise to continue when I say stop
She was silent
And I don't ponder
If nothing could ever seem this surreal temporarily
If nothing could ever be this bad again
The multitude I'll never inquire of you
You've got to promise to continue when I say stop
Excellent! (Or should I be saying "Terrible"? 🙂)
Underated comment
Change me to you and she to he
I'll definitely record a cover of this with these lyrics lol
@@thiagobueno2032 you def need to tag me if you decide to publish it 😎
Dude this makes me think of like dashboard confessional or maybe deathcab as far as the song arrangement goes. This is so cool!
the chorus is just wonderful
On repeat. This is amazing. Its like listening to the song for the first time again.
If Simon and Garfunkel wrote Everlong. 😮
This feels like what you’d get if you heard Everlong in a shopping centre for the first time ever and then told ChatGPT to recreate it.
Confusing as hell i love it
Wow The Shins cover we didn't know we needed.
This song still sounds amazing. No matter what someone does to the song it is an instant classic
finally back to singing your covers instead of doing weird pitch stuff to a .wav, been missing your voice for these
Sounds like a Sufjan Stevens song I love it
Especially when he starts singing!
too bad nobody knows what that is
@@keagenmccartha7412 listen to more music noob
@@hand__banana Sure tiktoker
@@keagenmccartha7412 also your name's spelled wrong, which must suck. I get it though (zavier)
the jawbreaker vibes are too strong holy shit i love this
Hell yes, makes me happy to see a fellow Jawbreaker fan! Saw em in 2019, was an amazing show!!
fucking nailed it
Whoah, so true lol sounds like Blake singing
Holy shit I was trying to figure out why this felt so damn familiar....wow, what a perfect comparison!
Foo Fighters did actually cover a Jawbreaker song, weird coincidence lol
Your voice here sounds alot like Dave did in his Nirvana days, nice one mate
Elliot Smith meets The Microphones
if somebody is interested:
chorus chords are F>Am>Dm
It's like I'm hearing it for the first time again
Excellent! I love this sort of stuff. The mirrored version of Tangerine Dream's Rubycon is also awesome. Mirroring and negative harmony are fantastic compositional techniques!
This is so breathtaking
Wow this entire thing was fucking amazing!! That chorus was straight fire.
Genius as always ❤️
My Bloody Valentine unplugged
I don’t know if it’s the negative harmony or your voice or a combination of the two but all of these videos have such an Elliott Smith sound to them. Your voice so beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with us!
The harmony on the chorus is mwah👌
I genuinely love this. So interesting.
Makes me think of the Alan Parsons project!
Actually, I in the sky would probably be really neat to hear with reverse harmony
Sounds like an Eels song
Damn this version makes you think. What a version, Congrats for the amazing work! The Chorus sounds absolutely amazing
AHHHH! THIS MAKES ME SO UNREASONABLY HAPPY!
sounds like a whole new song!
This isnt bad…. Need this on spotify
man this is one of my favourite ones
I would love to hear this in the electrics version with all the effects and instruments
_Elliott Smith has entered the chat_
Took the knife out of his chest
weirdly beautiful
This is like living through the good part of your life and the original is like meeting the end of the good
so well done! love the singing
The chorus is UNBELIEVABLY good
I used to play my own version of everlong by playing and singing another octave down and this really reminds me of the weird surreal sound of that
An octave down?? That's some crazy low notes 😳
It sounds like being hopeful they won't hurt you again
Fantastic, nothing more to add.
Oh, this is beautiful 😍
yo this made my week. i listenened to this more than the roriginal
Actually good , expected it to be unlistenable , fair play 👍
this might be elliot smith
Why is this actually so good
Such an etherial indie rock vibe. Almost Ra Ra Riot but lo fi.
This has crazy adventure time vibes
This makes it actually sound like a love song
I love this Bon Iver cover of Everlong
This actually fucking beautiful
Sounds wild with the actual everlong playing as well
_Am I crazy for thinking I kinda like a lot of these more than the original??_
This is honestly just beautiful. Fuck me. What love sn in depth explanation of the theory of this
its giving Soul Meets Body
feels like The Cure... awesome!! 🤘
I feel like its almost not unsettling
Still sounds so cool
This is a banger can’t lie
This sounds like I'm trapped inside the Hotel California somehow
This is like if everlong was like a 2010 song, idk it just kinda has that modern feel
Evershort
Nevershort*
@@TZD11111 Evershort up-to-down doesn't mean anything other than Evershort. Makes sense to me.
Nevershort! By the ooF Diplomats! Love this song!
beautiful
everlong sounds like a dream
this sounds like a fever dream
can I please make a suggestion for a song: negative harmony of Hurt by NIN or Cash
ahhh foo fighters if they were an early to mid 2010’s indie band
are there chords anywhere for this? this is so cool!
so good
thats cool
Wow, I need an instrumental version of this
ah yes, my favorite song from the foo lovers
wouldn’t it be human lovers seeing that foo is a military term for alien/ufo
thank you Sufjan Stevens
Yes!!!
idk why but the chord voicings are slightly giving me star man david bowie vibes
i'm sorry but this is somehow SO much better, blew my mind actually
Elliott Smith covering the Foos. ❤️ 🫂

this is like if elliot smith wrote everlong
played both the original and this simultaneously shit broke my brain.
Now it’s a Grizzly Bear song.
I love this
Evil Foo Fighters play:
This sounds like a Pinback song
I wonder what Aphaville- Forever Young would sound like in reverse Harmony...
This is actually so cool!
